Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) continues to make their world-class standard of healthcare more accessible through the renovation of its facilities in recent months. The institution  while the Professor Sol V. Alvarez Center for Digestive Diseases and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy was unveiled in June.

 

The Center for Thoracic and Critical Care Medicine aims to provide patients who experience pulmonary diseases with comprehensive, state-of-the-art medical services. The opening ceremony was attended by the Chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Sen. Bong Go, who commended the enhancement of CSMC’s facilities. The senator also stated that the efforts are in line with the government’s goal of building more health facilities and improving existing ones.

Meanwhile, the Prof. Sol V. Alvarez Center for Digestive Diseases and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy was named in honor of the pioneering doctor who established the very first endoscopy unit in the country in 1974 within CSMC. CSMC’s endoscopy unit is one of the premier gastroenterology facilities in the Philippines, and is home to some of the best physicians in the field.

Manila emerged as the most sought-after destination in the Philippines for both international and local Airbnb guests

As travel restrictions continue to ease, international travelers are increasingly looking to visit the Philippines, according to newly released Airbnb data. Travelers are also eager to stay longer and explore more places than ever before, as part of a travel revolution that’s creating more economic opportunities for locals.

 

Since the country eased all travel restrictions in April, there has been an incredible amount of enthusiasm among international travelers looking to travel to the Philippines. Searches by international guests for Airbnb stays in the Philippines grew by more than 140 percent year-over-year from Q1 2021 to Q1 2022¹, suggesting that the travel industry is once again spurring economic recovery for the country. 

 

The Philippines is also uniquely positioned to take advantage of the Live Anywhere remote-work trend and the rise of the digital nomad, as long-term stays² on Airbnb emerges as a popular choice for guests. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by Airbnb among Filipino guests revealed that more than a third of local guests stayed at an Airbnb listing to travel and work remotely³, further demonstrating how travelers have been increasingly living on Airbnb.

Airbnb data also revealed that travelers are raring to travel to destinations both familiar and lesser-known. Manila emerged as the most popular destination in the Philippines among both inbound and domestic guests⁴, followed by tourist favourites Cebu and Quezon City. Notably, more than 60 cities and towns across the country have welcomed their very first Airbnb guests since the start of the pandemic⁵, generating an incredible opportunity for Filipino Hosts in off-the-beaten-path destinations that have traditionally missed out on the benefits of tourism. 

 

Amanpreet Bajaj, Airbnb’s General Manager for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan said, ​​“It is heartening to see that Airbnb guests from around the world are looking to revisit the Philippines - as well as explore it for the first time - which bodes well for the sector’s ongoing recovery and for our local community of Hosts. The blurring lines between travel and living has also led to many travelers continuing to embrace their newfound flexibility. They’re jumping at the opportunity to base themselves in the picturesque destinations in the Philippines, including both popular and lesser-known parts of the country. We remain committed to working with local Hosts across the country, as well as the Philippine government, to help ensure Filipino communities can take advantage of this travel rebound.” 

 

The platform upgrades and innovations that Airbnb unveiled over the past year have made it easier than ever for Filipinos to become Hosts and share in the benefits of this tourism dispersal. Additionally, new search tools such as I’m Flexible, which has been used more than two billion times since May 2021, as well as the new Categories and Split Stays features, are also encouraging guests to explore new destinations — which further spread the benefits of tourism and put money back into local pockets.

 

¹ Based on internal Airbnb data on searches for Philippine stays by international guests in Q1 2022 as compared to the year prior

² Long term stays are defined as a stay booked for a period of 28 days or more. 

³ Based on a survey of 250 Airbnb home guests who booked a listing in the Philippines between June 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, and were surveyed between February 17, 2022, and March 31, 2022.

⁴ Based on internal Airbnb data on searches for Philippines stays by international and domestic guests as of July 2022.

⁵ According to internal Airbnb data between March 2020 and March 2022.

Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Chris Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.

 

While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Gemma Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.

 

But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?

 

An audacious, twisted and visually stunning psychological thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling” is a powerhouse feature from director Olivia Wilde that boasts intoxicating performances from Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, surrounded by the impressive and pitch-perfect cast.

The film also stars Nick Kroll (“How It Ends”), Sydney Chandler (“Pistol”), Kate Berlant (“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”), Asif Ali (“WandaVision”), Douglas Smith (“Big Little Lies”), Timothy Simons (“Veep”) and Ari’el Stachel (upcoming “Respect the Jux”).

 

Wilde directs from a screenplay penned by her “Booksmart” writer Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke (“Chernobyl Diaries”) and Silberman. The film is produced by Wilde, Silberman, Miri Yoon and Roy Lee, with Richard Brener, Celia Khong, Alex G. Scott, Catherine Hardwicke, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke executive producing.

 

Wilde is joined behind the camera by two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Matthew Libatique (“A Star Is Born,” “Black Swan”), production designer Katie Byron (“Booksmart”), editor Affonso Gonçalves (“The Lost Daughter”), Oscar-nominated composer John Powell (“Jason Bourne”), music supervisor Randall Poster (“No Time to Die”) and costume designer Arianne Phillips (“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”).

 

A New Line Cinema presentation, “Don’t Worry Darling” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in cinemas across the Philippines on September 28.  Join the conversation online and use the hashtag #DontWorryDarling
